The boat itself would not be a visual deterrent because‚ instead of painting it in the traditional Arctic red‚ we had left it white‚ hoping it would help us approach wildlife closely. From the beach‚ the massive 5 predator had seen nothing out of the ordinary‚ just two fat seals on a block of ice. Although ungainly on land‚ once under the sea he moved gracefully‚ rolling along like a tsunami beneath the milky veneer. The ripple stopped‚ and the bear poked his head

today’s enlivenment for polar bears isn’t the best. Polar bears are finding harder to service with ice melting earlier in the spring and refreezing later in the fall. With larger oil companies moving closer into the arctic it is affecting the bears even more. Already having to deal with clement change and ice melting faster‚ big oil has moved in and poring toxins in to the environment. With the working of the oil rigs‚ oil is spilling out into the water poising the polar bears food sources. Other

“This magnificent area is as vast as it is wild‚from the windswept coastal plain where the polar bears and caribou give birth‚ to the towering Brooks range where Dall sheep cling to cliffs and wolves howl in the midnight sun”.

Polars Bears are dying because the ice caps are melting because of global warming. Scientist have proof that humans are the cause of most of global warming and it has been that way from the mid-1900’s to now. We need to slow down global warming or the polar bears will die and a lot of other animals that live on the ice caps. If the ice caps melt that will rise the sea level and a lot of people will die. Global warming is getting worse causing melting icecaps which is caused by rising temperatures

The Wrath of Climate Change When a force as strong as gravity strikes‚ can one truly be prepared to face its wrath? Unfortunately‚ Mother Nature is unpredictable in her many forms‚ and climate change is another embodiment. People around the world are ignorant of the subtly approaching climate change and its dangers‚ while the vulnerable indigenous people of the north have fallen victim to its threats.

the only reasonable explanation left. The land formation of the tundra is formed by freezing‚ thawing‚ and refreezing the soggy soil (5). There are only about 48 species of animals that are able to survive in the tundra habitat. Animals such as polar bears‚ arctic foxes‚ musk ox‚ wolves‚ and caribou live in there. Each animal has to play their role in society in order for all organisms‚ or most organisms‚ to survive (3). During the winter seasons‚ the animals’ fur grows longer and thicker to keep
